PLATE R DISH HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 416,264, dated December3, 1889.

Application filed June 14, 1889.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KELLOGG THOMAS HURLBURT, a citizen of the UnitedStates, re-

- siding at Lakewood, in the county of Ocean thereto.

and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Plate or Dish Holders; and I do declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to dish-holders; and its obj ectsare, first, toattach a dish adjustably to a stationary support; second, to adapt thedevice to hold a dish of any size or contour, and, third, to attainthese ends with structural simplicity and economy. I accomplish thesepurposes by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my invention attached toa table, showing the manner of attaching the same adj ustably Fig. 2 isa bottom plan view of the holder. Fig. 3 illustrates a top plan Viewthereof, the dotted lines indicating the dish; and Fig. 4 shows amodification of the device, whereby a sliding slip restrained terminallyby a coiled spring is substituted for the rubber shown in the otherfigures.

The same designations indicate corresponding parts in the several views.

To the table G, I secure the clamping-arm A by lateral pressure, so thatthe bent arm a will be under the table. The clamping-arm A isradially'secured to the bottom of the Serial No. 314,236. (No model.)

plate D, whereon the bottom of the dish F rests, and is bent over twiceto form the par allel arm a. The upper surface of the plate D terminatesforwardly in two counterpart bent projections (I, under which the edgeof the dish F is inserted. Rearwardly the support or plate Dterminatesin a yoke D, holding the pin (1, whereto one end of a thick rubber bandC is attached, the other end whereof encircles the looped part of a rodB, bent upon itself so that its ends shall point in opposite directions,and terminally bent at b to hold the other side of the dish F, whichfits thereunder.

In the modification shown in Fig. 4 the only structural difference isthe substitution for the rubber (J of a strip G, adapted to slide inbearings c and held byacoiled spring E, whose ends are respectivelysecured at e to thestrip C and at e to the support or plate D.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is The plate D,terminating forwardlyin bent projections d and rearwardly in a yoke D,that supports a pin d,whereto one end of the band C is secured, incombination with the rod B, bent upon itself to form a loop whereto theother end of the band C is attached, and whose termini b are bent tohold the other end of the dish, the whole co-operating as and for thepurpose described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature 'in presence of two witnesses.
